- After your toilet clogs for the 3rd time, the first thing that pops into your mind is "Ooooh the possibilities!"

- You hand out TMF copies to homeless people

- You cant remember the last time you played a video game

:smx1: Got your own?

You take action and follow through with your action instead if sitting there dreaming every day or talking about your ideas

That's the perfect stero-type, but not what I was looking for. I meant it as what are some differences that could be funny? (This was posted in the Funnies section)

Dont take this as putting down your reply, it was awesome.

Yep, I've seen it in a lot of communities that I am a member of, i.e. "You know you're into reptiles when you have 40 pillowcases and only 10 pillows."

You Just Might Be A Fastlaner If...

- You see people standing in a ridiculously long line for free crap and remember that time in your life when you thought that was a worthwhile use of your time.

- You look at sites like Pinterest and Tumblr as potential tools for your business while everyone else you know looks at them as a form of endless entertainment.

- You spend more time in the library AFTER you graduate from school than you did while you were actually in school.

- Like everyone else you know, you say "Thank God it's Friday!" but unlike everyone else you know, you're only saying this because you know that the new Shark Tank episode will be airing in a few hours.

Actually no, it came to me while writing this. But I think it would be great to do it, TMF is way better than a few bucks.

- You look forward to week days because the traffic and shopping are easier.

- You're bored during the week because all your friends are at work.

When no mechanic in town can fix your car.

When you complain about your house being too big.

When you go to the same thrift store you did ten years ago, even though your wealth has skyrocketed since then.

When you pulled more all-nighters in your first few years of building your business than you did in college.

When none of your Facebook friends are from your hometown because all they talk about is how broke they are.

When the only time you set your alarm is to get to the airport.

When your bankers light up when you enter the room.

When you go to your mother's house, look at everything wrong with it and then tell her about your new product idea that will fix all of the problems in the house.

You might be a Fastlaner if you know your UPS guy cause you order so many books from Amazon. lol

You might be a Fastlaner if you don't have a TV.

You might be a Fastlaner if you save a huge chunk of your income while keeping your expenses low and predictable.

You might be a Fastlaner if you are clearly aware of the consequences of your actions/choices.

You might be a Fastlalaner if you have a shit load of books. hahaha

You check this forum at least once daily from a mobile device because you don't want to miss any of the action.

If you gave up your cell phone plan for a prepaid simply because you know you won't need the extras anymore.

If you analyze your friends' actions and purchases to see if they are on the same mindset as you.

If you start 'cart creeping' to see what people are buying in the grocery store, then compare what's in your cart.

If every time you have a bad experience or you see some flaw in some way, you start thinking about how you can turn it into a million dollar business.

The same here. Lastly I became with lots of ideas from this thinking, even when I won't do most of them is a nice game to put your mind to work.

- you cringe at all the same shit different day situations that happen at work

- you get internally annoyed by co-workers that hate their jobs but spend years doing nothing to move forward

- you analyse everything from a producers point of view and not a consumers point of view

When friends think Mom from overseas is supporting you because you have more money than they do without you going to "work"

When you don't look at the price tag of the items you buy at the grocery because you know you can afford them.

When you feel like visiting forums other than this is a big waste of time.

When you feel unhappy if you're not taking action.

You look at someone like you want to bludgeon them when they say "I need to hit the lottery to live the life I want!"

You take note & actively seek out a solution when one of your friends say "I wish I had this or that!"

You refuse to go to nightclubs, unless somehow you'll be earning money...

LOL

When you read articles and watch videos they are immediately categorized in a Slowlane/Sidewalk/Fastlane box:

"Eh, that's Slowlane shit"

or

"Oooh Fastlane!"

or "OMG, total Sidewalker"
